I have this pretty large area of rock bed in the front of my house, with some large collector's boulders my dad I picked up some places years ago. I always thought it needed something more than rocks and a single gnarly-growing Texas sage bush, so late last fall/this winter, I have been steadily adding cactus and succulents that I thought would not only improve the appearance of the rock bed, but were also hardy enough to take that north wind during the winter- I am pleased to say that so far it's been a 100% success! Here's a few of my favorites:
Crassula caput-minima
Crassula Mesembryanthimoids
Rhombophyllum Dolabiforme
Rhombophyllum Dyeri
Old cluster of mixed Faucaria
Hamatocactus Hamatocanthus
HAWORTHIA TIIIIIIIIIIME!
Haworthia Mirabilis v. Badia
This one could be any one of several
These two are Retusa hybrids, one is a White Ghost
Cuspidata
Tesselata Venosa
Mystery
Marginata
Mirabilis Mundula
My favorite, and oldest Haworthia, the Cooperii, may or may not be a v. Truncata, I really can't tell the difference between them
I have a lot more plants in the bed, will post them all over time. I have some big ones I am till planning out.
Happy Spring all!
